4.12 A company is considering buying workstation computers to support its engi- neering staff. In today's dollars, it is estimated that the maintenance costs for the computers (paid at the end of each year) will be $20,000, $26,000, $34,000, $38,000, and $42,000 for years one through five, respectively. The general infla- tion rate (F) is estimated to be 10% per year, and the company will receive 16% per year on its invested funds during the inflationary period. The company wants to pay for maintenance expenses in equivalent equal payments (in actual dollars) at the end of each of the five years. Find the amount of the company's annual payment.
